Retrieve the main OPDS catalog from my library.

I've accessed your Calibre-Web OPDS feed. I can see categories for 'Newest', 'Authors', 'Series', and 'Hot'. Which section would you like to explore?

Show me the books available on shelf ID 5.

Fetching shelf 5... I found 3 books: 'The Great Gatsby', '1984', and 'Brave New World'. Would you like the metadata for any of these?

Sync my Kobo library and provide the download links.

Syncing with Kobo... I've generated the metadata for your library. You have 12 books ready for sync, including direct download links for your device.

Yes. By using the `get_opds_catalog` tool, the agent retrieves the root XML feed of your Calibre-Web instance, allowing it to see categories, authors, and series as defined in your OPDS settings.
